Agree. I kind of like the eyeguard one more than the crowned one.

Hey Chris, looks like I should go along with you and take care of one of those true spikes so they don’t get between you and one of those big bulls!

Loving the mass on this one.
So here he is again (The one I've been after since it opened) He's been super quiet except for this one day....Hung out around the cam for 4 hours screaming his head off. (will have several videos in TC thread)

I’ve been on him, (and a bigger one) for the last 2 days. They are smart. 100 yards away this am, then another hunter pushed him away.

I felt your pain last year. Tons of opportunity but some many things have to go just right and everytime there was one little thing that went wrong.
Looking back I am frustrated that I didn't fill the tag but man did I have an absolute blast trying. I hope you are having just as much fun.

That’s just it.....:all about having fun, and yes I’m having a blast. Very happy that I can chat with bulls a little now. Evidently I’m not saying the right things though. That’s ok though......sitting on a mountain, in an elk bed,in the middle of the forest as I type this, Life is good.

As I recall you have been on this hunt before and filled a tag so you are swinging for the fences this time.
If that's the case don't settle. Hold out until the very last minute of the last day.
Last year, last day, two hours left in the season and I had 3 cows walk into my shooting lane, a great six by six that I passed because I could see an absolute monster coming. He stepped into the opening just as the cows got to my buddy who bumped them back into the bull, sent the arrow and before it got there the cows had spooked him and he spun away before the arrow arrived. Probably would have killed the 6x6 if I would have taken the shot.
Bottom line, no regrets and I had chances right up until the last couple hours of the season.
Enjoy every last minute of it man.
I just hope I draw again before I am 70.

Well......was hoping to post a pic with me holding this bad boy,(1st video) but it wasn't to be. He and I had quite a few conversations for 6 days in a row, (all of which he was laughing at me.)
My wife and I also had a cool encounter with a different bull (6X with massive width) I called him in over open ground from over 400+ yards to within 70 yards.
He came quickly, bugling the whole way along the ridge, then popped over the ridgeline 80 yards above us. Such a cool experience to hear him coming and then watch that massive rack make its way over the ridgeline and into our sight.
She said she felt like she was in a hunting movie
We were set up behind one of only a few trees on the open hillside, a cow decoy 30ish feet to our left and at the same elevation we were, when he saw the decoy he bugled at it, steam rolling out of his breath every time he bugled. He stood there for a couple minutes and every time he would look away(at another bugle in the distance) I would give him a cow chirp. He would return his gaze to the decoy and then move several feet closer.
He got to about 70 yards and wouldn't budge,(straight on and to long for a frontal shot for me) he turned to leave so I bugled to stop him, which worked, but cow calling couldn't convince him to come any closer.
We were set up for what we thought was an encounter from below, did not expect one from behind/above us, ..ohhh if I could only do that setup again, but different!!!
The bull in the below video, gave me the slip wayyyyy to many times. He was on the same ridgeline as the other bull, and took a slightly different path to cross this ridge into heavy timber every time. He would bugle like crazy at me, and come my way for a bit, then he would beeline into the timber. I tried guessing his route every day, only to have him outsmart me every time.
He did have multiple cows with him, (6 other bulls I saw were all alone) so pretty sure he was happy with his group and did not want to risk losing any battles.
If I only had 1-2 more days..............
It was a blast having the ability to chase and talk to big bulls again. I got some incredible cam footage of several things/scenarios that I've never captured before, which are just as rewarding as having arrowed a bull, (well almost anyways
)
Now the wait is on for the next
years to draw again.
